Just after breakfast in the morning, Yang Dongxu received a call from the United States. After answering the phone, his expression turned solemn.
"What's wrong?" The son was running around the room. The eldest sister, brother-in-law and the news at the door were already starting to pack things to go out to play. Zhou Ya noticed that her husband's expression was not right.
"The other party is really targeting us, and coming here this time may just be a test." Yang Dongxu took a deep breath and said.
In fact, when he heard yesterday that the person who wanted to visit him was from First Bank, Yang Dongxu suddenly had many thoughts in his mind. At the same time, I also thought of a possibility that it was a coincidence. After all, Nokia's mobile phone shares are now very popular.
Although he has only notified Nokia's senior management about the sale of his mobile phone shares for the time being, he wants to use these shares in the mobile phone business to exchange for shares in Nokia's parent company.
You must know that Nokia's mobile phone business declined a few years later, and it even had to package its first business to Microsoft. Everyone felt that Nokia was really in decline and could not recover.
But in fact, it was just that the first business failed and had to be packaged and sold. However, because the mobile phone business previously accounted for a large proportion of the company's revenue, the sequential decline of the mobile phone business was equivalent to having an arm chopped off.
But Nokia Corporation is still a powerful telecommunications giant, even if its reputation is not as good as Motorola, Ericsson, etc. because it is an American giant company with a good reputation. But there are definitely some companies in the top ten or even the top five in the world, especially in the Nordic region. Nokia is still the well-deserved king even without its mobile phone business.
Therefore, it is not very profitable to replace the shares of Nokia Corporation with mobile phone shares that will decline precipitously in a few years.
You must know that Nokia's mobile phone shares are very popular now, and there are many people who want to exchange the shares of the head office with him. That's why he disclosed the sale of shares in the mobile phone business to Nokia executives.
Therefore, he came to complete his replacement plan, but no matter the company or even a high-level country, it was not airtight.
What American companies are best at is collecting the trade secrets of major multinational giants, and then using them to rob them. So it is normal for Bank One to find out about this deal and prepare to get involved. They are also very optimistic about Nokia's mobile phone business.
However, he also thought that it might be a coincidence, but he still called the United States to inquire. And it turns out that he was not unfounded, and Citigroup really took notice of him.
This matter is still related to the last time he was arrested by the FBI. After all, that matter made a big fuss. Although in order to cover up the scandal afterwards, the international media seemed to have signaled overnight that they would no longer report any news about the case.
But it is certain that the name Yang Dongxu has been recorded in the notebooks of many big shots. And with so many people knowing about him, naturally some people were curious about him and began to investigate him.
This investigation naturally revealed some different things. For example, after the transaction with Dai'er, he became very close to the Kennedy family. Moreover, the Kennedy family had accepted shares of several powerful companies in the past six months and was naturally plundered. come out.
Although the acceptance of these shares was reasonable and legal, even if they wanted to find trouble, they could not find any loopholes to exploit. But Yang Dongxu dug more and more assets like treasures, which deeply attracted the eyes of these people like jackals.
This call came from someone from the Kennedy family, telling him that someone was investigating him during this period, including Citigroup.
He also apologized to Yang Dongxu for this matter. In fact, after the investigation came out, the Kennedy family was also scared into cold sweats. Unknowingly, no one came into the house without warning. Could it be that the Kennedy family still wouldn't be able to react if someone entered the house rubbed their necks?
The inheritance of family bloodline is already the last bottom line of the Kennedy family, but their bottom line is now in turmoil. How can they not be frightened? At the same time as he was frightened, he was naturally filled with overwhelming anger.
But the anger of the weak will not cause any movement, so the Kennedy family had to suppress their anger temporarily. In addition to informing Yang Dongxu that Citigroup was indeed targeting him, he also told him many secrets, including those about the consortium and politics.
"Then how about..." Zhou Ya's eyes became solemn, and her expression became more and more awe-inspiring.
"It should be fine for the time being. The most unruly people in the world are concentrated in the middle class, because they want to overthrow the top people above them and replace them. The higher the upper class, the less likely they are to break the rules easily.
Because the current rules of the game are those set by them that are most beneficial to them. Once they are broken and chaos results, no one has the confidence to survive in the chaos.
So now even if they are very powerful, we still have a bargaining chip to protect ourselves. No matter what happens, we still have a strong motherland standing behind us. If everything is done according to the rules, there is nothing to be afraid of, and if you want to play outside the game, there is no need to be afraid. Yang Dongxu smiled, hugged Zhou Ya and kissed the side of his face.
Zhou Ya's body slowly relaxed. At this time, the son who was chasing the little beauty Xianghu Town in the house suddenly stopped and looked at his parents. He kept stroking his face with his little hands, "Shy, shy..."
Zhou Ya's face suddenly turned red, and even her neck turned red.
Yang Dongxu glared at his son angrily.
"How old you are, you don't pay attention to the occasion." Aunt Ran Feifei looked at Yang Dongxu teasingly and reached out to pick up little Wenchen.
Xiao Wenchen, who was originally a little scared when his father glared at him, immediately found someone to support him. One hand was holding Ran Feifei's neck, and the other hand was patting her little face and shouting shyly.
After packing her things, Zhou Ya took her son and went out to play with her eldest sister and her family without disturbing Yang Dongxu. Before arriving, everyone knew that Yang Dongxu was here to handle work, so they didn't feel anything unusual.
After sending his family out, Yang Dongxu pondered for a moment, took out his mobile phone and dialed a phone number.
Half an hour later, he appeared in an ordinary coffee shop on the streets of Espoo. A few minutes later, Carew walked into the coffee shop alone.
"I ordered a cup for you. The freshly ground coffee feels good." Yang Dongxu was drinking coffee at this time. He didn't stand up to shake hands with Kalu, but gestured to Kalu with the cup.
Cafes like this can be seen everywhere on the streets of Europe and the United States, which are somewhat similar to the tea stalls in domestic streets and alleys in earlier years. But now that domestic tea stalls have disappeared, such cafes are a bit smaller than domestic chess and card rooms. No matter in that community or on the street, you can see a chess and card room within a few steps. The density is as crazy as that of later generations. Rising pharmacies have a lot to offer.
The coffee sold in cafes like this also includes well-known brands such as latte and mocha. But what they sell more is the freshly ground coffee from hand-selected coffee beans, which is very distinctive and tastes no worse than those famous brand coffees.
"Why did you invite me out, about shares?" Kalu looked at Yang Dongxu, he wanted to say a few polite words politely.
But for several days, Yang Dongxu seemed to be playing with his family as if nothing was wrong, although everyone knew that whoever spoke first at this time would be at a disadvantage. But this time, since Yang Dongxu asked him out alone, it was obvious that the matter had reached a critical point and there was no need for him to continue to be pretentious.
"Yes and no." Yang Dongxu smiled mysteriously.
"You'd better tell the truth. Although I have spent almost all of my time in China these years, I still don't understand the meaning of Chinese." Karu shrugged and said humorously.
"Someone sent me a greeting card yesterday and wanted to invite me to dinner. That person's name is Adams Smith." Yang Dongxu didn't beat around the bush.
Carew said nothing and waited for the next step, but when the name Adams came out, he frowned unconsciously. He seemed to have heard this name somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
"He is the powerful vice president of the investment department of Bank One. Although I have not met him yet. But I can roughly guess that he is here for my shares in the Nokia mobile phone business, and I want to sell the Nokia mobile phone shares. , only told the company’s top executives.
Originally, I didn’t necessarily need to sell it. I just made a few big investments recently and wanted to see if I could mortgage it to turn it over, or sell part of it. "
If Carew just frowned because he couldn't remember where he heard the name Adams. After Yang Dongxu finished talking about Adams' identity and purpose, he almost stood up from his chair without surprise.
"Um...are you sure?" Karu frowned.
The only reason why he was so shocked was because he was worried about whether Yang Dongxu would sell his shares in Nokia's mobile phone business to First Bank. Of course, there is also the matter of the top management of his company actually removing spies.
No one likes a betrayer, especially when the betrayer takes a piece of meat that clearly belongs to him and gives it to others.
"I said I haven't met yet, so I'm not sure. But in order to spend time with my family this time, I arranged a long vacation for myself. I have traveled to various European countries for a long time.
Next, I have to go to Greece to watch the Olympic Games. It was only a week before I came to Finland that I announced to several senior shareholders of the company that I wanted to sell part of my mobile phone business shares to obtain cash. Then a few days ago, because of the senior management’s decision, I personally Came here to talk.
But within a few days of arriving here, he followed me and directly sent me a greeting card. I don’t think this is a coincidence. "Yang Dongxu shrugged.
Kalu's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and his expression became more and more solemn. It's good that Nokia is a giant, but Bank One is not easy to mess with. More importantly, Bank One is famous for its investment skills and willingness to spend money.
In terms of financial advantages alone, Carew does not think that the company's senior management can take advantage of First Bank.
"I may have to call a few friends to discuss this matter." Karu said.
"I won't send you away if you are busy with your business. I made an appointment to meet him in the afternoon, but we won't sign any agreement just by meeting. But you know that I need help recently, so you and your friends had better give me a reply as soon as possible. .”
Hearing Yang Dongxu's emphasis on the word 'friend', some embarrassment flashed across Kalu's solemn expression.
Yes, Yang Dongxu is the major shareholder of Nokia’s mobile phone business, and even holds a certain share in Nokia Corporation. But senior executives at Nokia, even Kalu, who had the closest relationship with him, actually treated him as an outsider from beginning to end.
If it weren't for the Asian mobile phone market being too hot, and if it weren't for the fact that the number of mobile phones produced by Yang Dongxu's OEM companies accounted for nearly three-quarters of Nokia's advanced mobile phones. No one can give a definite answer as to whether he can safely be a shareholder of Nokia mobile phones over the years and whether he can safely receive huge dividends every year.
Interest is the eternal theme of this world.
